Generating image of the sex position With Ergonomic Wedge
Anatomy and biomechanics

Use of support to modify the pelvic tilt: the wedge elevates and retroverts the pelvis of the receiver, changing the angle of incidence and reducing lumbar load and postural effort. It is a transversal ergonomic tool that improves comfort and the effectiveness of lying-down positions, especially useful for back pain or reduced mobility.

Why this position works

It's pure efficiency: with a simple firm cushion, any lying-down position gains angle, depth, and comfort. It relieves the back —key for those with lumbar discomfort— and allows reaching the G-spot without effort. Affordable, simple, and transformative; once you try it, you won't let it go.

Physical effort: Low Adapted

With Ergonomic Wedge: the accessory that improves everything

The worst-kept secret of sexual ergonomics. A firm wedge or cushion under the hips changes the angle, adds depth, and relieves the back: it turns any lying-down position into an enhanced version of itself.

Also known as: wedge · ergonomic cushion · pillow under the hips · sex pillow · pelvic elevation

Variations of this position

1. Face up: to the G-spot

Person face up with wedge under the hips; the other on their knees in front.

The wedge under the hips in supine directs the angle to the anterior wall.

  1. Place the wedge under the hips, face up.
  2. The penetrator accesses from the front.
  3. Angle towards the G-spot.

2. Prone: posterior angle

Person prone with wedge under the hips; the other on top from behind.

The prone wedge elevates the pelvis and accentuates the doggy-style angle.

  1. Place the wedge under the hips, prone.
  2. The penetrator accesses from behind.
  3. Accentuated posterior angle.

✓ Tips

  • A firm wedge or a hard cushion works better than a soft pillow.
  • Face up directs to the G-spot; face down accentuates the posterior angle.
  • Experiment with the height until you reach the perfect angle.
  • Essential if you have lumbar discomfort.

Frequently asked questions

Is any cushion okay?

Better a firm one or a specific wedge; the soft ones sink and don't elevate well.

In which positions does it help?

In almost all lying-down ones: missionary, lying-down doggy style, edge of the bed, etc.

Does it help with back pain?

A lot: the elevation relieves the lumbar area and avoids postural effort.

G-spot: what the evidence says

“G-spot” is a widely used term for a sensitive area of the anterior vaginal wall. Scientific literature has not established a discrete anatomical structure with an agreed location, size and nature; sensitivity and response can vary between individuals.
